Establish models of aneuploidy in gastrointestinal cancers and in particular of Barrett’s oesophagus and oesophageal adenocarcinoma.

Our lab is investigating the evolutionary routes that cancer genome follows during their accumulation of large-scale chromosomal rearrangements. We aim to understand what the molecular mechanisms of initiation and dependency of aneuploidy in cancer cells are. We combine developing cutting edge functional genomics and bioinformatic approaches to model aneuploidy in vitro and in large cohorts of cancer genomes.

Copy Number and Structural Variation based cancer genome-wide association studies.
Copy Number and Structural Variation based cancer genome-wide association studies.
We are developing methods to unveil the heritability of Cancer Genome due to Copy Number and Structural Variation in germline genomes. We are developing a pan cancer pipeline leveraging on our collaboration with Genomics England and UK Biobank.

We are investigating germline risk variants and somatic genomic features of cancer associated with different ethinic background. We are collaborating with institutions world-wide and with UK genomic services to improve our understanding of diverse genomes.
